Macro Definition Documentation

Assert

#define Assert

(

val

)

inline_assertion_check<true>(val, __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__, #val)

Identity function.

Abort if the value compares equal to zero

Definition at line 84 of file check.h.

Assume

#define Assume

(

val

)

inline_assertion_check<false>(val, __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__, #val)

Assume is the identity function.

• Should be used to run non-fatal checks. In debug builds it behaves like Assert()/assert() to notify developers and testers about non-fatal errors. In production it doesn't warn or log anything.
• For fatal errors, use Assert().
• For non-fatal errors in interactive sessions (e.g. RPC or command line interfaces), CHECK_NONFATAL() might be more appropriate.

Definition at line 97 of file check.h.

CHECK_NONFATAL

#define CHECK_NONFATAL

(

condition

)

inline_check_non_fatal(condition, __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__, #condition)

Identity function.

Throw a NonFatalCheckError when the condition evaluates to false

This should only be used

• where the condition is assumed to be true, not for error handling or validating user input
• where a failure to fulfill the condition is recoverable and does not abort the program

For example in RPC code, where it is undesirable to crash the whole program, this can be generally used to replace asserts or recoverable logic errors. A NonFatalCheckError in RPC code is caught and passed as a string to the RPC caller, which can then report the issue to the developers.

Definition at line 53 of file check.h.

format_internal_error

#define format_internal_error	(		msg,
			file,
			line,
			func,
			report
	)

Value:

    strprintf("Internal bug detected: \"%s\"\n%s:%d (%s)\nPlease report this " \
              "issue here: %s\n",                                              \
              msg, file, line, func, report)

Definition at line 21 of file check.h.

NONFATAL_UNREACHABLE

#define NONFATAL_UNREACHABLE

(

)

Value:

    throw NonFatalCheckError(format_internal_error(                            \
        "Unreachable code reached (non-fatal)", __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__,  \
        PACKAGE_BUGREPORT))

NONFATAL_UNREACHABLE() is a macro that is used to mark unreachable code.

It throws a NonFatalCheckError. This is used to mark code that is not yet implemented or is not yet reachable.
